The Blended Learning Model Through Wordwall Application In Improving Critical Thinking Of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students

Abstract

Students' learning outcomes and capacity for critical thinking decline as a result of boring learning. Using wordwall applications and a blended learning model, this issue can be resolved through action research with the goal of improving student learning outcomes and critical thinking. Kurt Lewin's research model, which consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages, is utilized in this study. 35 sixth-grade students from MI Model Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal Regency, served as the study's subjects. Rubrics were used to assess students' capacity for critical thinking, tests were used to assess students' learning outcomes, and observation sheets were used to collect data on learning activities. Percentage, categorical, and comparative data analysis methods are utilized. The following findings are revealed by the action research results: 1) The average difference in students' critical thinking abilities between Cycle I and Cycle II was 10.29 points, indicating an improvement in students' critical thinking abilities; 2) From Cycle I to Cycle II, there was a 4.5-point difference in average student learning outcomes. despite the fact that the percentage of classical learning outcomes that are complete has increased, with a difference of 24.31 percent. As a result, wordwall applications and blended learning models are highly recommended for enhancing student learning outcomes and critical thinking
